Daggered

(Hymn To A Headmaster / Daggered – triptych 5, panel 14 middle. This is one of the 18 works that comprises the “Ballet Of The Valedixctorians” in its entity).
Gold figure painting.

His heart is dropped into his hand, his shrug is one of despair as he is stunned and left in the bewilderment of the time and place… oh no not here, not this, not along the path of valedictory. In “Daggered” this student is violated further as he suffers the pain, so much more pungent, as it is in ‘Et-Tu-Brute’… for alas, it was his twin brother that beguiled in the “Blood Vessel” that burst during his awkward indulgence which left him in an eternal coma of hideous black sleep.

It is here that the bleeding continues as the forlorn and distressed boy is done-in by his brother’s living brain dead corpse. His eyes deep, deep and dark and black will lose their sparkle forever as his flesh spawns an isolated encasement. The enlightened spirit that he now lives in is as if he were a vagabond wanderer begging for spare change.
